The Bible Story is a practical guide that builds on a five‑volume set already intended to “beautify and classify the Bible.” Rather than offering new narrative material, this supplemental volume opens with a series of suggestions for how readers might employ the existing books in everyday life. It proposes ways to adapt the work to different occasions, temperaments, and ages, especially focusing on children. The introductory sections outline goals such as turning Bible reading into a delight, helping mothers teach their kids, and linking the Scriptures to geography, literature, and character formation. Detailed chapters promise advice on memorizing verses, selecting appropriate stories, and using the “Golden Book” as a bridge between simple tales and the fuller biblical texts.
The text reflects an early‑20th‑century instructional style, marked by a didactic tone, formal diction, and frequent references to moral and civic virtues. Its voice is that of a knowledgeable educator addressing parents, teachers, and clergy. Readers who appreciate structured, lesson‑oriented material, particularly those seeking to integrate biblical content into home schooling, Sunday‑school curricula, or personal study, will find this guide useful. It also appeals to anyone interested in the historical relationship between the Bible, literature, and cultural foundations.
The opening · free to read
The five volumes of THE BIBLE STORY have served to beautify and classify the Bible and are simple and complete in themselves. They do not require explanation or enrichment. It is the desire, however, by the addition of this volume to suggest definite ways of using the work.
This book contains a series of suggestions to fit the occasion, the temperament, and the time of the user. It may be picked up often and a part of it used as opportunity offers. We believe there may be those who will wish to use all the suggestions. We are sure that all who own THE BIBLE STORY will wish to use some of them.
